The history of Höfig Ramos Agricultura e Pecuária – HoRa – is intertwined with the life histories of pioneer Arthur Höffig and physician José Ramos, two great men who were prominent in the development of the city of Cornélio Procópio, in the state of Paraná, in the South of Brazil. Over the years, the names Höffig and Ramos have become unique in the region. In a perfect partnership, the two – more than united by family bonds – were also joined in the love for Cornélio Procópio and the work they have developed together.
